PICTURE POSTS …

Nowadays most people expect and prefer social media reels with videos, image slide shows, and matching music. But quite a few of my followers have asked me to post pictures beside the reels. And as much as I enjoy creating reels I am still a picture photographer at heart. So, from today I will again also post pictures, even if they do not get as many hits and likes as the reels. I will enjoy doing so and I hope you will enjoy looking at them.

Today’s first picture is of a White Rhino enjoying the fresh grass emerging from a recently burned area.

Technical data: Canon R6 with EF lens f2.8/70-200mm | ISO1250 1/500sec | f2.8 | ev0 | 140mm | WB 6500K | Crop to 80% of original image

Pyjamas, Sunrise, and Three Roars

At 4:30 this morning I woke up to an incredible loud Lion‘s roar, obviously just front of my home.

Not to miss the opportunity to record this incredible noise I grabbed my iPhone and rushed to my car as I was (in Pyjamas☺️).

And our dominant male delivered! I captured what I think is my best Lion roar sound recording since I came to Africa. The first 30 seconds of this video were recorded long before sunrise with the Lion hiding in high grass (I used a still picture of the morning sky with the video).

Once he got moving I followed him for the next two hours, recording two more roars. But none was as good as the first one in the dark.

‚Hearing cat‘s night noises in the front yard’ has a totally different meaning when you live in the bush. I love it!

Learning early!

Their mum had killed a baby Warthog as dinner for these four small Lion cubs. At this age the cubs still get their main nutrition from mother’s milk, but the Lioness decided to introduce them to meat at this early stage.

Technical data: Canon R6 with EF lens 300mm L and EF lens 500mm L 4K Video 50Fps

Who is cuter!

I am not sure who would win the cuteness contest. After seeing the little Lions yesterday evening I spotted the Cheetah cubs this evening!
